MILLWALL boss Kenny Jackett ran out of superlatives to describe in-form striker Darius Henderson after his double helped the Lions to a 3-0 win over a below-par Coventry.

A dire first half from both sides was lit up in the second by former Sheffield United frontman Henderson as he netted in the 53rd and 69th minutes at the Den, Liam Feeney wrapping up the game late on.

The 30-year-old Henderson has now bagged six goals in three games for Millwall, including a hat-trick over Leicester 10 days ago, having gone through a barren spell since scoring twice in Millwall's first two league games.

Jackett is revelling in the form of his summer signing and said: "Darius has made a great start to his Millwall career, he is in great form at the moment and has played very well for us so far.

"Every signing is a gamble and finding centre-forwards for the Championship is a big call. It is very tough and I would agree it was a risk.

"When I met him I was convinced he wanted to come back down south for family reasons and I felt that would help and he would be a lot more settled.

"He has given us a presence and a quality because he can bring people into play as well and when you get the ball in the box he is a threat.

"He occupies defenders, he has got some presence and for us this season he has been a big player and he finished well again.

"The combination of Darius and Jay Simpson has been a good one and has looked a threat."
